Windows 7: Display Color Calibration

I just got a new laptop and the display settings are terrible! I've gone through the calibration process several times but each time my computer goes to sleep or restarts, my display goes back to the default settings.

The calibration process isn't too time consuming and, because I've done it a hundred times, I can basically do it with my eyes closed but I'm starting to get irritated.

Open Color Management in the Control Panel (icons view). Click on the Advanced tab, then click on the Change system defaults button. After clicking on YES in UAC prompt, double check to see if you have your saved color calibration for your monitor that you can select and set as the default profile again. This will save you the time of going through the color calibration again, and hopefully set as the default permanently until changed.

Thanks! It took some fiddling with the advanced colour management settings, but I think the problem may be solved. For some reason, selecting my calibration profile and selecting 'set as default profile' from the devices tab didn't work, but selecting it as the default profile on the advanced tab seemed to do the trick.

Color profiles calibration?I'm setting up a new install of Win 7 Professional, the screen was a little pink, so I color calibrated. But when I re-boot it jumps back to the pink profile just after re-booting. How do I save the calibration after adjusting and how do I get it to stick? I've never used color calibration before...
